** You are receiving this message because your @purdue.edu e-mail address

Considering that I graduated back in May 2006, this suggests that Purdue keeps your ITaP e-mail account active for 18 months after you leave. For comparison, the Comp Sci department finally got around to shutting down that e-mail address of mine sometime last month.

So, in the exceedingly unlikely chance you’re still using one of my old Purdue e-mail addresses for something, you better get into the habit of using my current, oh-so-hard-to-guess e-mail address (hint: firstname at lastname dot org).

The good news, of course, is that once Purdue finally stops forwarding my mail from that account, the amount of spam I get will go down significantly.
